Holy hell! That looks unexpectedly good, Barker involved, single player AND with Bradley back as the voice! This is some of the most exciting Hellraiser news in years!
Being greedy, id love for this to come to PSVR2! Seeing the cenobites in VR would be terrifying and as it’s a first person maybe not entirely out of the question! But either way, this one’s already got its hooks in.
Have been working my way through the Zatoichi movies and rewatching the Lone Wolf and Cub flicks recently and having a blast with them! Be awesome to see them on the big screen!
I would absolutely love another Armored Core game! Armored Core VI was one of the most underrated games of that year in my humble opinion (and man was that soundtrack a killer!) Was my first entry to Armored Core, and definitely left me wanting more!
Whatever it is, to echo others, I really hope this is a more single player oriented game. Other than leaving absolutely hilarious messages on the ground*, I like my from software games solo.
*I am yet to actually leave a message deemed hilarious.
Still find this whole thing very odd. Feels like an idea which 3 years in never got out of its trial run. Digital collectibles I could live without, but the points were a nice little bonus, and did make me use the PS Store perhaps more than I would have otherwise. Their loss I guess.
What with my local GAME store shutting down end of August, guess I’ll have to rely on my Nectar points in Argos for my occasional video game discounts now. Very peculiar times.
After being very unsure, I caved and picked up Nightreign (using my Nectar points… go groceries paying for my games!) and gotta say… very pleasantly surprised! Actually having way more fun than I thought I would. I’m not really an online gamer, so was naturally a bit worried, but playing with randoms, although a little hit and miss has been fun!
That being said, I don’t know anyone that plays it, so if anyone does want some casual rounds please do let me know, I’m sure it’s easier to actually talk to people 😄.
Other than that, will be continuing to explore Into the Radius on PSVR2, and maybe even start the second Uncharted game. All while hiding away from that infernal heat here in the UK.
Personally I love VR… I picked mine up about a year ago, and still love jumping into it very regularly. I totally get it’s not for everyone and being honest, it’s always going to be a slightly niche side of gaming… but that’s fine!
For me, without sounding cliche, it’s been like rediscovering games again. I’ve been so used to how games play, the format… even the controls of games, and VR has flipped all of that on its head (no pun intended), and even though I suck at most of them still a year in (I still panic reloading weapons during shooting games 😄), I just love having a new way to play and experience them, and at times it can be genuinely exciting / shocking / scary (I’m a big horror fan and even still I get a little nervous in certain horror games).
While I do wish Sony would support it more with first party titles, they clearly are pouring some money into it behind the scenes. Games like the Resident Evil series, GT7 and even recently Hitman wouldn’t have worked on VR editions without some incentive, and at this point I can’t imagine sales are it 😄.
I’m remaining cautiously optimistic, but even if it’s inventive indie and AA titles I have to look forward to from here on out, that’s cool too!
Battling through the last DLC of Dark Souls 3, then I’ve officially finished all of the From Software Soulsborne’s… although I’m not expecting a pushover so maybe 2 weekends for them! 😄
Thinking of picking up Into The Radius in the Sale and jumping into that to break things up.
…and maybe even brave the outside for a bit.
Very bizarre move. I said this when they stopped rewarding us for the subscriptions, but having that little £5 credit every now and then actually made me grab a game off the PS Store, and always spend on top of that, when I probably wouldn’t have otherwise bought a thing. So I’ll probably end up buying less from them direct and sticking to physical copies. Hopefully they’ll bring something in its place…but as the poll says… not hopeful.
Also confirmed yesterday as part of this he is working on a game with Yoko Taro, NieR producer Yosuke Saito and composer Keiichi Okabe for a game that “might or might not be NieR” 😄
I very much doubt any of these games get advertising without at least paying Sony something to “promote” the title first. In which case it’s probably pot luck who see’s them… and maybe they’re hoping it gets some traction and people who see them talk about it like we’re doing now (not a dig at this article, just what I’d do should I ever find myself making shovelware tripe 😄)
Few trophies to hunt on the first Uncharted before jumping over to the second game. The killing 75 people before dying one is really irritating me, mainly because I always die at some random platforming jump 😄. Really enjoyed the game though.
Also jumped back into Elden Ring, with Freedom Wars and yet another playthrough of NieR: Automata on the side (it was its birthday! That’s the excuse!)
It pains me to say this, but this might be the first From Soft game that I’m just not feeling. I was semi curious, but after seeing some of the early reactions / gameplay from the network test, I really don’t think this one’s for me. My favourite part of their games is exploring at my own pace, uncovering slithers of lore bit by bit, experimenting with character builds and learning from mistakes in boss battles. This looks so fast paced, I genuinely think I would struggle.
It’s fine, you can’t like them all, and hopefully this finds a new crowd who have never touched a From Soft title before and they become fans… and by the sounds of things from this news it’ll bankroll their next big title… whatever that maybe.
And while you’re at it, how about some Armored Core 6 DLC please! 😄
Got Freedom Wars and Persona 3 Reload for my Japanese fix. Finishing the last few unlockables in Synapse on PSVR2.
And… as PS5 is the first time I’ve owned a PS console since the ps2 days I’m playing some of the classics I missed over the years, am just about to jump into Uncharted: Nathan Drake collection for the first time!
I didn’t watch it myself, but from what I’ve seen there were a few nuggets of interest there, and I’m genuinely excited to play the old Armoured Core games as well, so all in all enough to keep me going until the next big reveal… whatever that maybe.
I get the annoyance of online backlash though. People love to moan. The exact feeling I get every time I see another “PSVR2 has no games / is doomed” story.
I’m not a Civ fan so it’s no big loss for me, but I am a PSVR2 fan.
I’m sure this is all hidden behind some red tape but a very silly idea, especially when recently a number of indie developers are coming out and saying their titles are selling better on PSVR2 than they are on quest.
@LN78 I really don’t get the hate for Alien 3, for me anyway it’s the last real Alien film. Everything since has been a garbled mess (Resurrection / Prometheus) or bland re-hashes (Romulus / Covenant). Anyhoo, nerdy Alien talk out of the way, this is a very fair review!
I’m loving my time with it, it’s great to be a part of the Alien world, and totally agree that the consoles are one of the highlights 😂
In terms of immersion though, nothing will ever come as close to 11-year-old me screaming my way through Alien War at London Trocadero in the 90s… now that… that was real nightmare fuel 😄
Definitely Stellar Blade for me. I had an absolute blast with Granblue Fantasy Relink, and still dip back from time to time, so good to see that on the runner up list as well!
I keep going to pick up Dragon’s Dogma 2 but then something else gets released that gets in the way. At this point it’ll probably be a wait until it’s on PS Plus job.
Actually a quietly decent month! Sonic Frontiers has been on my radar for ages, so glad I’ll finally get to take that for a spin (pun semi intended) And Forespoken, I actually did enjoy the demo, but the bad reviews put me off, so glad I’ll get to give it a whirl without any risk! (Couldn’t think of a pin for that one 😅)
Great news, especially if the pads are finally sold separately, absolutely crazy they aren’t already. I don’t really have much interest myself in Apple vision, but can see the appeal, so anything that helps boost PSVR2 is a good thing!
Really happy to see the love for PSVR2 growing the past few months. I got mine not really knowing what to expect and genuinely curious to try VR, and having so much fun with it, in some cases it’s like learning to play video games again, which isn’t a feeling you get too often. So if this opens the door to other people having that same experience, then even better.
This actually looks a lot of fun! Am I the only one getting NieR vibes from the gameplay? (The mix of third person / side scrolling / top down… and even that slow-mo dodge / backflip). Or am I just so starving for a new NieR game I’m seeing it everywhere? 😅
Getting Hollow Knight vibes which is no bad thing! I’ll probably pick this up on Switch if it’s available there… playing Hollow Knight handheld just felt so right.
Another hit of Valkyr all these years later, and just when I thought I was over it.
I have such fond memories of 1 and 2. I loved 3 as well, but it did feel like somewhat of a different franchise. Really hope they use the OG music and voice cast, and obviously keep the comic panel cut scenes. But yeah, this one is exciting.
@EfYI I don’t think so actually! I’d never player 3 before, and P5 was my a first ever Persona game… but Reload feels very much like a modern game… it looks great as well!
14 hours into Persona 3 Reload and still feels like I’m at the intro level. loving it though! Just about to do my first exam… wish me luck!
Juggling that and some Legendary Tales on the PSVR2 which is just excellent, and recently returned to Granblue Fantasy Relink, had forgotten how fun that one is!
@gbanas92 Oh jeez! Haha! It’s the ducking (and the whole bullet dodging thing) that gets me in Pistol Whip. But like you say, it does feel like you’ve actually done some good for yourself after you’ve finished a session. I want to support it so I’ll probably take the plunge 😀
Yep, just the £10 option for me now… which is a right pain. I often used the £5 vouchers.
I said the same thing when they took away point earning on PS+, if this is a greed move, it’ll hurt them in the long run. More often than not it was simply because I had the £5 off I’d end up buying things in sales etc that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. So it’s their loss.
Hopefully I’ll still get the £10 off here or there. But if the points expire after a year then that’s probably unlikely. Especially not earning points on the PS Plus subscription.
I love the idea of this game, but Pistol Whip absolutely kills me! I’m a sweating wreck after playing that for 10 or so mins, so if this is anything like that I will struggle… or maybe I’m just horrendously unfit 😄
I am really looking forward to this… but a little scared. I’m all for a challenge in games, but the fact all the reviews have said this one is particularly difficult does stress me out a bit, mainly because I absolutely suck at turn based games 😄. Even in PSR which people see to agree is an easier one I got stuck in at certain places… but I will persist (after clearing a backlog which includes Persona 3 Reload… so may take some time! Haha)
Back to Last Of Us part 1. Haven’t played nearly as much as I’d have liked, but loving it!
And… booked my trip to Japan next year (it’s a long way off, but already counting down the days 😄) so might start something like Persona 3 or one of the Yakuza games I haven’t played yet (not that I plan on punching people on the streets while
I’m out there).
I love the original so much… I remember I’d just finished (as in left to be a sort of adult) school the year it came out, and got the cardboard box special edition which I think included a DVD making of? Used to play this way into the early hours of the night… and certain sections / bosses are forever ingrained into my memory. I was actually going to pass on this… felt like it was something that couldn’t be recaptured. But after the glowing reviews, maybe it is actually time for a revisit.
@XscapingReality I missed out on PS3 and PS4 dabbling with other consoles, so jumping to PS5 has given me this whole world of exclusives I’ve missed out on over the years, which has been a lot of fun 😀
About to start my first ever journey into The Last Of Us with Part 1. So that’s probably my entire weekend sorted! (In between killing myself during small bouts of Pistol Whip)
@PloverNutter oh totally, I didn’t mean to say they should abandon the franchise at all… because it clearly is very popular.
I meant more in terms of remasters. Because, even people who like the game seem to agree, this one wasn’t really necessary. And where do you draw the line? Will there be another remaster for these games when the PS6 comes around? Surely the best thing is to let the games be a product of their time and focus their attention in something new (wether that’s Horizon or something else).
I hate so much being the negative guy… and I really mean that… but this franchise leaves me so, so cold.
I don’t like the lead character, I didn’t like the law (to the point I was skipping through dialogue on my first attempted playthrough) and crucially,
I didn’t even really enjoy the gameplay.
We can’t all like everything, so this not being for me is fine… but personally, I wish Horizon would take a backseat, because there’s so much better stuff Sony could be championing.

Re: Spy Drops Looks Like a Long Lost PS1 Game, But It's Skipping PS5 for Now

I’m sure it’ll stealth drop on PS5 at some point…
Re: Dino Crisis-Inspired Shooter Code Violet Gets a PS5 Exclusive Release Date
Could be fun! I remember being very dubious of Stella Blade during the build up and that ended up being one of my favourite games of the year.

@PloverNutter oh totally, I didn’t mean to say they should abandon the franchise at all… because it clearly is very popular.
I meant more in terms of remasters. Because, even people who like the game seem to agree, this one wasn’t really necessary. And where do you draw the line? Will there be another remaster for these games when the PS6 comes around? Surely the best thing is to let the games be a product of their time and focus their attention in something new (wether that’s Horizon or something else).
Re: Over 10 Hours of Horizon Zero Dawn Dialogue Has Been Re-Recorded for PS5, PC
I hate so much being the negative guy… and I really mean that… but this franchise leaves me so, so cold.
I don’t like the lead character, I didn’t like the law (to the point I was skipping through dialogue on my first attempted playthrough) and crucially,
I didn’t even really enjoy the gameplay.
We can’t all like everything, so this not being for me is fine… but personally, I wish Horizon would take a backseat, because there’s so much better stuff Sony could be championing.

Few people can put a smile on my face like Yoko Taro.
I’m convinced he’s got something big up his sleeve for us soon… until then, I’ll enjoy his photos of ramen and curry on Twitter!
